---"Key Technology and its application
of Network Control and Optimization for Small Hydropower
Stations", which was completed by Zhejiang University
of Technology, Hydropower Management Center of Zhejiang
Province and HRC, wins the first prize for science and
technology of Zhejiang province for 2011.
The result was achieved with the joint
funding by several projects at national, provincial and
ministerial level. Combining with the requirements of
the development of small hydropower stations, with "Economical
and Practical, Simple and Reliable" as the guideline,
an in-depth research is conducted on the effective utilization
of small hydropower and generic technology of safe operation
in terms of remote control and maintenance of small hydropower
networking, modern intelligence control system, and the
optimization of operation dispatch. The networking control
equipment for small hydropower stations with self-owned
intellectual property rights has been developed. This
research achievement is applied abroad in large-scale.
It has been successfully applied in dozens of hydropower
stations in Zhejiang, Gansu, Jiangxi, Shaanxi, Chongqing,
Guizhou, Fujian, Guangdong, and been exported to over
ten countries, such as Turkey, Peru, Vietnam, Mongolia,
Kenya, Angola, with significant economic and social benefits.
The achievement has obtained 8 patent
licenses, 2 new and practical patents and 6 software copyrights.
